The SS AMERICAN MARINER has the liquid load shown in table ST-0095 below. Use the white pages of The Stability Data Reference Book to determine the LCG-FP of the liquid load.

Correct Answer: Option D — 286.2 ft

Longitudinal stability and trim computations depend on accurate longitudinal center of gravity inputs from vessel tank tables. Consulting table ST-0095 in the stability reference manual establishes the exact liquid load LCG-FP at 286.2 feet.
